Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.

Although Cheng Sihai is almost seventy, he is still vigorous and healthy.

The Cheng family members have physical examinations twice a year.

It had only been a month since the last physical examination, and even Cheng Dong's physical examination report had some minor issues, while Cheng Sihai had no problems at all.

His health is even better than that of a young person.

This may be attributed to his health-conscious lifestyle and his love of practicing martial arts.

He can practice Tongbeiquan (a style of Chinese martial arts), and he practices two sets of it every day.

I want to wait for Cheng Sihai to die, but I don't know when that will be.

Perhaps they should do something to help Cheng Sihai reincarnate sooner.

Lin Yu had mentioned this before, but her son always rejected it before she could even open her mouth.

But this time, the son unexpectedly remained silent.

Her eyelids twitched, and she asked, "Don't you also think...?"

"Mom," Cheng Dong interrupted her, "Don't make decisions on your own. You have to listen to me on this matter."

Lin Yu's heart started racing.

This means... he agrees, but we have to do as he says.

Lin Yu, who considered herself less intelligent than her son, immediately nodded: "Of course Mom will listen to you. Mom has always listened to you in everything."

She was able to join the Cheng family because she listened to her son.

At that time, her son was only in junior high school.

Her son is very bright; he's a natural genius.

Cheng Dong paused for two seconds, then said, "Just listen to me. Do as I say, first find the person in charge of a forum called 'Shadow.' Once you've contacted them, tell me what to do next."

Lin Yu immediately took note and nodded vigorously: "I will contact them as soon as possible."

A gloomy look flashed across Cheng Dong's eyes.

On a forum called Shadow, you can buy and sell colorless and odorless poisons that, once they take effect, cannot be identified as poisoning.

This forum is difficult for ordinary people to access; those who do access it usually only see the normal pages.

However, given his mother's current status, she should be able to contact the person in charge and access the forum's actual page.

He didn't originally intend to be so ruthless.

The old man is just too much of a hindrance; we have to get rid of him.

Time flies so fast; in the blink of an eye, he will be graduating from high school soon.

In a few years, he will graduate from university.

If you acted then, it would be too late.

He couldn't wait that long, nor could he be any more merciful.

The mother and son were talking in the room and didn't notice a person dressed as a servant quietly leaving the manor with Old Xu.

……

After Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou left, they did not go home immediately, but instead asked Cheng Yizhou to take her to the hospital first.

She did not go to the hospital to see Pei Yuanshan today.

She had explained beforehand that she had something to do today and wouldn't be going to the hospital.

During the meal, Pei Yuanshan sent several messages asking if she could have a late-night snack with him after she finished her work.

Pei Yuanshan wasn't usually this clingy; he was the most independent of his disciples, besides Xiaobai.

Perhaps it's because of his age and the fact that he recently went through a life-or-death ordeal, but his personality has gradually changed.

Bai Su finally agreed.

When she mentioned going to the hospital, Cheng Yizhou immediately guessed who she was going to see.

He used to not know why Bai Su was so close to the Pei family, but now that he knows the reason, his displeasure slowly disappears.

Because their family now shares the same relationship with Bai Su as the Pei family.

This feeling made him somewhat proud.

But the thought that Bai Su had become his elder turned his pride into frustration.

The feelings in my heart transformed into a more complex and indescribable emotion.

As they approached the hospital, he couldn't help but ask, "If my grandfather were also hospitalized, would you visit him every day?"

He regretted asking the question as soon as it left his mouth.

Isn't that cursing his grandfather?

Moreover, since it's the same relationship, Bai Su is definitely closer to me.

There's no need to ask.

They're together every day.

How could he ask such a stupid question?

If Bai Su were to discover his thoughts... that would be incredibly awkward.

Fortunately, Bai Su didn't seem to think much of it and just smiled and said, "Your grandfather is in good health and won't be hospitalized."

"That's what I'm saying... but it's just a hypothesis."

"If it's just a hypothetical situation, of course I would go see them. Your grandfather and I, although we were master and apprentice, were also best friends and siblings of the opposite sex. We came out of the orphanage together, struggled, fought, and grew up together. These memories will stay with us for a lifetime."

"Um……"

Bai Su looked at him: "We're almost at the hospital. Do you want to come up with me? You and Xiaoshanzi... and Pei Yuanshan, you should know each other, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Cheng Yizhou immediately refused as soon as the question was asked.

"I'm not going. I haven't looked at the notes you gave me today."

Very eager to learn.

But it's also strange...

He's been quite ambitious lately, but not to this extent...

It seems that there really is something strange about these fellow disciples.

"You know what kind of conflict your grandfather has with Pei Yuanshan and the others, right?"

Cheng Yizhou pursed his lips and remained silent for several seconds before speaking: "You misunderstood, there is no conflict."

"Why wouldn't they interact if there were no conflicts?"

"I can't tell you, you'll have to guess. Anyway, you're guessing in the wrong direction right now." That was all he could say.

It was a matter of life and death, and he couldn't tell Bai Su everything just because his relationship with her was special.

This would drag her into danger as well.

Bai Su gave him a deep look.

Even Cheng Yizhou wouldn't reveal a single word, so things might really be complicated.

Bai Su didn't press him any further and said, "Then just drop me off at the hospital entrance."

"How long will you be gone?"

"About an hour."

Tomorrow is Saturday. Although there are no classes, she made an appointment with Sun Yuze at noon to go to the company to sign a contract tomorrow, so she has to get up early.

Cheng Yizhou said "Oh" and didn't say anything more.

They soon arrived at the hospital entrance. Bai Su said goodbye to Cheng Yizhou and went to Pei Yuanshan's ward.

Pei Wenyan was also there.

Although he comes every day, he is not there all the time.

Pei Wenyan is now in full charge of the Pei Group, and he also has to take care of company affairs.

In addition, Pei Yuanshan's condition has improved significantly, so he spends relatively less time in the hospital.

So he came less during the day and chose to come at night to keep her company.

There was a bed for family members in the VIP room, and Pei Wenyan slept in the family member's bed.

But when Bai Su entered, he happened to be in the bathroom.

Bai Su thought he wasn't there.

As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the aroma of grilled fish.

Pei Yuanshan hurried over and said as if presenting a treasure, "Master, I had someone bring you the grilled fish restaurant you used to love. Come and try it, see if it tastes the same as before."

Bai Su frowned slightly: "You can't eat such greasy food yet."

"I know, so I also had them make a dish of pickled fish and send it over."

Bai Su looked up and saw two fish dishes on the round table.

One dish was grilled fish, which was being roasted over a small charcoal lamp.

The other dish, pickled fish, was served in an exquisite large porcelain bowl.

Bai Su chuckled and walked over to sit down with Pei Yuanshan.

Pei Yuanshan said, "Didn't you used to love the grilled fish at that restaurant on Nanshan Road near the research institute? I ordered them to bring their chef over a few days ago."

Bai Su asked in surprise, "That chef...wasn't he in his forties or fifties at the time?"

Fifty years have passed now, can I still cook?

"It was made by their grandson," Pei Yuanshan said. "But since it's a family recipe, the taste should be the same."

Bai Su nodded.

He took the bowl from Pei Yuanshan, added a small piece of fish, and put it in his mouth.

"How is it?" Pei Yuanshan asked expectantly.

When Pei Wenyan came out of the restroom, he happened to hear Pei Yuanshan ask this question.

He stopped in his tracks without making a sound.

Bai Su said, "It's still a little different; the garlic sauce tastes different. This shop used to not use fresh garlic, but now they mix it with old garlic, so it doesn't taste as good as before. But it's not much different, so it's barely acceptable."

"Really? Let me try it."

"You can only eat one piece."

"knew……"

Pei Yuanshan picked up his chopsticks, took a bite, and frowned: "It's just as you said. It used to taste better without fresh garlic, but now it's a bit spicy."

"After all, it's been passed down for two generations, so it's normal for the method to change. It's still quite delicious."

Pei Wenyan then strode out of the restroom.

"Ancestor," he greeted Bai Su respectfully.

"You're here too?" Bai Su said, "Sit down quickly and eat with us."

"Yes, Ancestor." Pei Wenyan pulled out a chair and sat down, his eyes showing even more respect than before.

Grilled fish was the topic he brought up.

It was also someone he sent who found the chef to come to the capital, prepare the food, and deliver it.

The purpose was also to find out whether Bai Su was truly the ancestor.

He didn't believe in ghosts or gods, and the idea of ​​being reborn was too strange, so he had to be extra careful.

But Bai Su passed the test again.

This proves once again that she is indeed the deceased ancestor.

This made him feel embarrassed and a little ashamed.

Fortunately, Grandpa didn't think of that, so he didn't mention who brought the grilled fish, which prevented him from being too embarrassed.

The three of them had a late-night snack together, and it was already 9:30.

Bai Su was about to leave when she reminded Pei Wenyan, "Don't let your grandfather lie down right away. He's never been a very active person, and lying down immediately after eating is bad for his stomach and can make him nauseous."

"Yes, I understand."

Just as Bai Su was about to leave, she suddenly remembered Cheng Sihai.

She turned around and said to Pei Yuanshan, "I recognized Xiao Si today."

Pei Yuanshan's expression froze, and something flashed quickly in his eyes.

Bai Su noticed it, and surprisingly, a hint of fear crept into her eyes.

Why?

Thinking about it carefully, Cheng Yizhou seemed to have a hint of fear in his eyes when she invited him to come to the ward to see Xiaoshanzi.

They were actually afraid of each other.

Bai Su was even more confused.

"It's a good thing that you've recognized each other. Third Brother is still the same as before. He'll definitely be happy to know you're back."

Pei Yuanshan had regained his normal expression, revealing little emotion.

But that one moment that Bai Su caught was enough.

"Yes, he was indeed very happy. I happen to be in the same class as his grandson, so I can keep an eye on him more often."

"Is that Yizhou? In the blink of an eye, he's already a senior in high school."

"How many years has it been since you last saw each other?"

Pei Yuanshan hesitated slightly, then smiled and said, "I'm old, and I don't remember these specific details very clearly."

Bai Su didn't say anything more, said goodbye and left.
